Build the Traveler Alliance from Scratch

Chapter 594
  Hearing Fan Xian's words, Ya Mu immediately understood what he meant.

"Let's just say, what's there to worry about?"

"Aren't I afraid of stealing your limelight?"

Fan Xian explained sarcastically.

Yamu frowned and said, "But those corpses and battle traces haven't been processed yet. Will anyone find out the clues?"

Fan Xian chuckled, lowered his voice and said, "It doesn't matter, I just want them to think wildly. The water in Kyoto is already muddy enough anyway. It won't hurt to be muddier."

"What's more, the traces of battle you left behind, Brother Mu, are too horrific to be considered humanly possible."

"They will never believe that there is an unknown Grand Master standing behind me. They will only think that I deliberately arranged it like this..."

Yamu frowned and said, "Do they really think so?"

Fan Xian chuckled and said, "Don't worry, even if they don't think so, they will find other logical and consistent explanations."

Yamu said clearly: "It's absolutely impossible to be a grand master anyway, right?"

Fan Xian smiled and nodded: "Of course."

……

……

Returning to Fan Mansion, Fan Xian found his father and told him everything about today's assassination.

When Fan Jian heard this, he stood up suddenly, his brows tightened, and there seemed to be a little anger in his eyes.

But the first thing he asked was whether Fan Xian was injured, which made Fan Xian, who had always thought that his father didn't care about him, feel a little warm.

Fan Xian said with a smile: "Don't worry, Brother Mu is here, unless the Grand Master comes forward, who can hurt me?"

Fan Jian breathed a sigh of relief visibly, then he pondered for a moment and said, "You go back to your room first, I'll go check on this matter, and I'll give you an explanation no later than tonight!"

After saying that, Fan Jian took steps towards the study door.

"Hey!"

Fan Xian quickly called Fan Jian.

Fan Jian stopped and frowned, "What else is there?"

Fan Xian smiled and said: "Brother Mu Shi is a hidden ninth-level master who is unknown to everyone. I want to conceal his identity and claim to the outside world that I killed those assassins."

Fan Jian thought for a while, nodded and said: "Good idea, I understand."

After saying that, Fan Jian took another step forward. This time, Fan Xian did not stop him.

……

……

After opening the door, Fan Xian returned to his bedroom, with a faint smile on his handsome face.

"What good thing is this?"

"Why are you smiling so happily..."

Yamu's voice suddenly came from the side.

Fan Xian was startled for a moment, then turned around and closed the door, looking at Ya Mu next to him with a smile: "It's nothing, I just suddenly realized that my cheap dad seems to care about me..."

Halfway through, Fan Xian suddenly realized that Ya Mu had no relatives in this life, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. I have asked my father to release false news. Your identity and strength will never be known to outsiders. "

"Actually, there's no harm in telling it, right?" Ya Mu glanced at him and said softly, "With the great master backing you, wouldn't it be more able to deter those who secretly covet you?"

Fan Xian shook his head: "I'm shocked, but I can't even think of marrying your sister-in-law..."

Ya Mu raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

Fan Xian smiled, walked to the desk, lifted the teapot, poured tea, and explained: "The existence of the Grand Master is the nuclear weapon of this world. His words and deeds can shake the affairs of the country and shock the world. "

"The reason why I was able to marry Lin Wan'er and take over the inner treasury controlled by the royal family is because I am just an illegitimate child."

"Once in power, you can only rely on the emperor and become a lone minister loyal to the emperor alone."

"But if there is a great master behind my illegitimate son, then things will be completely different!"

"My identity will change from a powerless illegitimate child to the spokesperson of the Grand Master. The powerful will value me and the emperor will be afraid of me. It will become impossible for me to take over the inner treasury and marry Lin Wan'er."

Yamu nodded thoughtfully: "It makes sense...but why didn't you say it before?"

Fan Xian brought the tea to Ya Mu and said with a smile: "Because there was no need to say it before!"

Yamu took the tea cup and frowned: "Huh?"

Fan Xian smiled and explained: "In the eyes of insiders like my father and others, you are just a reclusive ninth-level master, far from the intimidating power of a grand master. It was you who suddenly mentioned the grand master. That’s how I explained it.”

Yamu frowned, shook his head and said, "These twists and turns...don't you know I'm not good at using my brain?"

"Stop doing this!" Fan Xian curled his lips and said with envy, "You are just too powerful, so you are too lazy to think. If I had the power to control the world like you, I wouldn't want to use my brain!"

Ya Mu shook his head again, and just about to speak, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked at the window on the right.

The window opened quietly, and a figure emerged from it and landed in front of Ya Mu.

"Fifth brother!" Yamu said hello to Wuzhu.

Wu Zhu glanced at him silently, then turned to look at Fan Xian.

"Give."

Wu Zhu reached out and handed over a fold.

Fan Xian was stunned for a moment, then took it and asked curiously: "What is this?"

Wu Zhu replied calmly: "The joint document between the Supervisory Yuan and the Ministry of Punishment was prepared to be submitted to the emperor, but I intercepted it..."

scare!
  Fan Xian's expression froze and his fingers shook, almost shaking the thing to the ground.

Wu Zhu continued: "After I cut off the excerpt, I copied it without touching the original. The copy you have in your hand is a copy."

After listening to Wu Zhu's words, Fan Xian breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily: "Uncle Wu Zhu, can you speak faster in the future? Don't you know that scaring people can scare them to death?"

Wu Zhu was slightly startled and asked doubtfully, "Really?"

Fan Xian sighed and said feebly, "No, I was joking."

After speaking, he picked up the folder and began to read the text inside.

After reading it, he raised his head, handed the fold in his hand to Yamu, and said with a smile: "That strong man is actually an eighth-level master from the Northern Qi Dynasty, named Cheng Jushu. According to what the fold said, he seems to be quite famous... It seems like I’m going to be famous now!”

Yamu said softly: "The Overwatch Council is quite efficient. It didn't take long to figure out the identity of the assassin."

Fan Xian nodded and said: "The Overwatch Council is directly under the emperor and supervises hundreds of officials. There is almost no scruple in acting in Kyoto. There are not so many rules and regulations, so the efficiency of work will naturally be very high. However, this document only states the identity of the assassin and nothing else. I think the information is only part of it, more specific information will have to wait until my father comes back in the evening."

As he spoke, Fan Xian lit the brazier in the room with a fire stick and threw the copy in his hand.

"Whoo~"

Flames rose and engulfed the paper.

Fan Xian turned to look at Wu Zhu and said seriously: "Thank you, Uncle Wu Zhu."

Wu Zhu remained silent, and after a moment he asked, "Do you need me to help you kill the person behind the scenes?"

Fan Xian frowned, shook his head slowly and said, "Don't worry, let's check the situation first..."

……

……

As the assassination of Fan Xian on Niulan Street spread, it undoubtedly became the most shocking news in Kyoto this month.

The Qing Kingdom was strong and peaceful, and Kyoto, the most prosperous place, was heavily guarded. Even ordinary murder cases were rare, let alone the assassination of the son of Lord Fan Jian, the Minister of Household Affairs, in broad daylight on the street.

Not only that, the assassins even used bows and arrows in Kyoto!
  This kind of unscrupulous behavior undoubtedly violated the bottom line of the imperial court. The huge institutions of Qing State immediately began to operate, and it did not take much time to investigate the 'truth' of this assassination case.

And the reason why they were able to be so efficient was thanks to the complete body that Ya Mu left behind.

This person's name is Cheng Jushu, he is a very famous eighth-level master in Northern Qi. He is very skilled in kung fu and is difficult to attack with swords and guns. He is also born with supernatural power and his true energy is much stronger than other eighth-level masters in the same realm.

In addition, the identities of the two female assassins were also investigated by the Overwatch Council.

They are a pair of sisters, apparently assassins from small vassal states, but in fact they have always been under the control of Northern Qi.

So at this point, the case seems to be completely clear - the mastermind behind this assassination is Northern Qi!

The people in Kyoto were talking a lot, constantly speculating why Northern Qi would take action against Young Master Fan.

Although Fan Xian is now famous for his poetry in Kyoto, he is still an insignificant role after all.

In order to assassinate Fan Xian, Northern Qi actually used an eighth-level master, two assassins who were assassins, and more than a dozen spies lurking in Kyoto who had the ability to draw bows and control strings.

This cannot help but shock everyone in Kyoto.

But what shocked them even more was that under such a series of assassinations, Fan Xian actually killed them all!
  I just don't know whether the person who took action is the rumored Fan Xian himself, or some unknown master hidden around him.

Of course, no matter what the truth is, Fan Xian's threat of force in the eyes of many big figures in Kyoto has once again risen several notches.

"The joint brochure between the Oversight Yuan and the Ministry of Punishment has been released, confirming that it was done by Northern Qi."

"The string connected to the back has also been pulled out. It is Si Lili, the oiran of Zuixianju who had an affair with you before."

Hearing his father Fan Jian's words, Fan Xian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "Si Lili?"

Fan Jian sighed and said, "Yes, the second prince thought that you had an affair with Miss Si Lili, so he arranged the banquet at Zuixianju on the Liujing River."

"It's just that no one thought that Zuixianju was actually a secret agent planted in Kyoto by the Northern Qi Dynasty."

"Then Si Lili is not just an oiran, but a Northern Qi spy who is responsible for collecting intelligence from powerful people..."

"The information that you went to Zuixianju for a banquet today and passed through Niulan Street was leaked from her."

Si Nan Bo Fan Jian sat at the top of the study room, looking at Fan Xian below and said softly: "I know you are very angry about this assassination, but since this matter involves Northern Qi, it is a state matter, and the subsequent development will not be up to you. Don’t interfere with Nephew Mu Shi.”

"Don't interfere?"

Fan Xian frowned and said, "I am the one who was assassinated. Don't I even have the right to know?"

"Dad, tell me the truth. This matter shouldn't be as simple as you said, right?"
